Chapter 27
Su Bei's idea was very simple, just a principle. This was a celebration banquet, and if there was a celebration banquet, who would pay for it? Of course, it would be the beneficiary.
In other words, this celebration banquet could be hosted by the grandparents, the school, or even Wu Mingbai. But it had absolutely nothing to do with Lan Subing.
Now that Lan Subing had booked a restaurant, it was clear that they would split the bill. Since it was splitting the bill, it was normal for him to pay his share in advance.
Lan Subing was obviously stunned after seeing the transfer. She didn't expect Su Bei to split the bill with her. Because of her family's financial situation, when she was in elementary school and junior high school, she almost always paid for meals when she went out to eat with her classmates.
After getting to know Jiang Tianming and Wu Mingbai, they never took it for granted that Lan Subing would treat them, but because of the huge gap in their family backgrounds, they usually found the restaurants themselves.
This time, it was a rare opportunity for Lan Subing to find a restaurant by herself, and she almost subconsciously wanted to treat everyone, without even thinking about going Dutch.
Now that Su Bei took the initiative to go Dutch, she felt strangely touched.
The next second, Lan Subing received another transfer of 50 yuan, this time from Mutieren. She looked up and looked at Mutieren, and the squad leader nodded at her kindly.
Lan Subing looked away, and something in her mind dawned on her. This had never happened before, and her money was flowing back into her hands like a yo-yo.
Is this what a normal relationship between classmates is like?
Suddenly she remembered something - how did they know that AA would cost 50?
Because she hadn't added Su Bei as a friend, Lan Subing first applied for a friend status with Su Bei according to the transfer information, and then sent a message to Mu Tieren.
[Silent and enthusiastic Bing 66: How do you know AA costs 50]
The Iron Man responded quickly:
【Musanxiang: Find the store, then look at the group purchase on the official website for a meal for six people, 299 right? Smile.jpg】
After seeing the news, Lan Subing suddenly realized what was going on. At the same time, she also had a new understanding of the attentiveness of Mu Tieren and Su Bei.
Why not hire them as accountants? The ungrateful capitalist girl thought so.
Wu Mingbai, who was standing next to him, heard Lan Subing's phone ringing continuously and frowned in disgust: "It's that couple again."
Since the couple left school yesterday, the Lan Group officially began to implement the plan. Despite the sufficient preparations before, the Sun family was hit to the point of bankruptcy in just one day.
After all, they are rich people and the Sun family has some connections. They soon found out that it was the Lan Group that was suppressing them, which reminded them of Lan Subing whom they met yesterday.
Knowing that they had offended someone, they have been sending text messages and making phone calls to harass Wu Mingbai and Lan Subing since this morning, hoping that they would leave their company alone. Fortunately, they cannot go to school now, otherwise it would be really annoying.
Lan Subing shook her head, put away her phone and said nothing more.
When they arrived at the restaurant, they immediately realized what rave reviews meant. The place was packed with people, and if they hadn't made a reservation, they probably wouldn't have been able to find a seat.
The staff took them to the private room and left. Wu Mingbai began to liven up the atmosphere. He was a lively and cheerful person, and not as brainless as Mo Xiaotian (Wu Mingbai's words), so he was the most suitable person to do this.
But before they could finish their conversation, there was a noisy noise outside the door, as if someone was making a fuss.
Everyone was very curious about why someone dared to cause trouble outside the School of Supernatural Powers. Jiang Tianming frowned and took the initiative to open the door to see what was going on.
However, he got into trouble just after opening the door. The fat guy who was making trouble outside saw him and walked straight over to him: "Hey, I remember you are a poor guy from Class F. I will give you five times the amount you paid for the reservation. Now, get out!"
Hearing his words, Su Bei was deeply moved. As expected of the protagonist, he could easily encounter bad things. He had never seen a person like Fatty in his first 15 years of life, but he saw one when he went out with the protagonist.
He was wondering where the "quarrel" predicted yesterday was, and now it's here.
If I remember correctly, he and this fat guy seemed to have met once before. On the first day of school, he went to the cafeteria to eat lunch with Si Zhaohua and Baozhu.
The performances of the three of them left a deep impression on Su Bei at the time. However, unlike the good impressions left by Si Zhaohua and Baozhu, this one left a purely bad impression - a mean person with his nose in the air.
Jiang Tianming was immediately furious: "Dream on!"
He had already recognized who the other person was. It was the fat guy who followed Si Zhaohua and the other guy that day. It was thanks to this guy's instigation that they were able to quarrel with Si Zhaohua.
Now that they were outnumbered, Fatty would definitely be in trouble if he didn't use his superpowers. In fact, Jiang Tianming alone was enough to defeat the other party, not to mention the others.
Although he didn't have much physical strength, he definitely had a lot of fighting experience, so it was still easy for him to deal with a pampered fat man.
Being rejected by him, the fat man sneered: "Don't be shameless! I am from Class A, I can catch you all with just a simple use of my supernatural power."
He estimated that except for Mo Xiaotian, all the people in this box should be from Class F. Mo Xiaotian's ability has not yet shown any offensive power. Although the upper limit is very high, he is not worried about not being able to win.
"Wow!" Wu Mingbai looked innocent and didn't understand their argument at all. He said excitedly, "I've never used my superpowers to fight outside!"
The fat man's face suddenly froze, and he remembered at this moment that the school did not allow new psychics like them to use their powers outside. Once they were discovered, they would pay a heavy price.
At this time, Mo Xiaotian gave a fatal blow in a daze: "Hey, are you going to use your supernatural powers to fight here? This is not allowed. I have to tell the teacher quickly."
Hearing this, the fat man's face twisted and he glared at Mo Xiaotian: "Don't play dumb, we are all from Class A, why are you hanging out with a bunch of people from Class F?"
"Pfft!" Su Bei couldn't help laughing out loud. He really thought it was funny. Wu Mingbai, who was really playing dumb, was not noticed, but Mo Xiaotian, who was really dumb, was criticized by the fat man.
This guy is really blind.
Everyone was attracted by the laughter, and the fat man's anger shifted: "What are you laughing at?"
Su Bei originally did not intend to speak, he just wanted to watch the show. But since someone had put the microphone in front of him, it would be bad not to say anything.
So he lazily leaned back in his chair, propped his head with one hand, and said nonchalantly: "I'm laughing at the fact that the guests you invited are about to arrive, and you haven't settled the restaurant yet."
The fat man was shocked when he heard this. He almost forgot about this. He had finally invited the person. If something went wrong, the family would definitely blame him.
He couldn't deal with this group of people in a short time, so the most urgent thing was to find a new restaurant as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, he glared at Su Bei and the others fiercely, then slammed the door shut, took out his cell phone, and left quickly.
"How do you know he's going to hire someone?" Mu Tie Ren asked curiously after everyone left.
Just now he was ready to call the teacher. After all, even if the fat man didn't use his superpowers, his nouveau riche look could cause them a lot of trouble.
They just helped the school catch the murderer, so now they can definitely get help from the school staff.
Unexpectedly, before he could take any action, Su Bei solved the problem with just one sentence.
"Isn't it obvious?" Su Bei explained lazily, with an expression that "there is nothing to say". "Although there are a lot of people outside, one or two empty seats can still be found. He insisted on a private room, so he must want to treat everyone."
Everyone suddenly understood. It was true. If you were just eating with one or two ordinary classmates, or eating alone, you could just find an empty seat outside. You would only need a private room if you were entertaining guests.
This is not difficult to imagine, but Su Bei was the only one who realized it so quickly.
Being watched with admiration by everyone, Su Bei secretly asked the "comic consciousness" in his heart: "Did I interrupt the plot?"
"Comic Consciousness" was also a little speechless: "Yes, this episode was supposed to deepen the conflict between Si Zhaohua and the protagonists."
As a result, Su Bei did this and Butterfly dropped this plot. He asked curiously: "If there is no such plot, will the protagonists still face Si Zhaohua and others during the monthly exam?"
"Of course." "Comic Consciousness" said affirmatively, "Without this plot, there can still be the next one. Anyway, this conflict is bound to intensify."
Su Bei was not surprised to get this answer. If this kind of contradiction that could drive the plot forward was easily resolved by him, then the direction of a large part of the subsequent plot would be changed.
After the brief encounter, Su Bei did not think that Si Zhaohua and Baozhu would become real enemies with the protagonists. It was obvious that they were on the path of turning enemies into friends.
After the meal, Su Bei finally got to know this restaurant. The food was really good, and it lived up to its reputation as a supernatural academy. And the price was not expensive either, so he could treat Feng Lan to a meal later.
He hadn't yet repaid the favor of the other party for inviting him to eat at the school's points cafeteria, so this was a good opportunity to return the favor.
Everyone walked to school contentedly. Jiang Tianming looked at Mu Tieren and asked, "Class monitor, has the teacher told you about the monthly exam?"
Hearing this, Mu Tie Ren hesitated for a moment, but felt that there was nothing he couldn't say, so he nodded: "The teacher said that this monthly exam will be in the form of multiple teams, and it seems that there will be mixed classes."
Students from mixed classes, that is, Class A, can team up with Class B, but generally speaking, unless they are friends, it is difficult for a psychic with stronger abilities to team up with a weaker one.
Everyone wanted to know more about the content of the monthly exam. After all, except for Mo Xiaotian who was in Class A, everyone else was not satisfied with their current class and hoped to go to another class after the monthly exam.
But unfortunately, Mu Tieren only heard Meng Huai mention it once, and he didn't know more. He could only comfort him: "The teacher should take the initiative to tell us the situation a week before the monthly exam. Don't worry, we will know soon."
After returning to the dormitory, Su Bei threw himself on the bed as soon as he entered the room and couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "Monthly exam..."
He couldn't help but worry. Although he acted very proud in front of Jiang Tianming, he knew how much truth there was in his words.
Although the ability has been changed from [Gear] to [Fate Gear], its current attack power is 0, and even its prophecy function can only be used once a day.
How can he continue to pretend during the monthly exams? If he reveals his true colors, those fans who admire him will probably immediately jump on the wall. Without those who like to use their imagination, who will come to imagine that his supernatural powers have stronger abilities?
No, he had to find a good way. Thinking of this, he gradually fell asleep.
Early on Sunday morning, Su Bei suddenly heard an update notification from "Manga Sense": "The King of Superpowers has been updated, please pay attention."
